Should I text/call him or should I wait until he texts/calls me?

They broke up. Be there for her, show her your good side, but like you said keep a distance. You do not want to become her emotional to to friend, she will veiw you as one to the girls and a sure way to "get ran over" Talk to her and assure her she is a great person, keep it short and sweet.

Try and get her to laugh a bit, do this person to person if you can. Or at minimal on the phone. If you guys have good chemistry getting her to feel happy and laugh even when very upset will be good.

When she is laughing or feeling somewhat happy, tell her you want to go do something fun to take her mind off it. Don't make it a romantic date. But do something active, avoid things like walks and parks and boy friends things.

This will give her too much time to think. You want her active and talking and having fun. I don't know how old you are or where you live.

Miniput is a good one followed by some ice cream. You can actually be sweet and charming at this point, hold doors offer to pay. If possible slightly touch the small of her back when walking through a door.

This does build attraction. After this date do not contact her unless she contacts you. If not wait about a week and check in, tell her you had fun.

Keep doing this, but to avoid the friendzone you must be moving things steady into relationship mode. Depending how long and how deeply she cared for him (you really have to watch your self) if she was terribly hurt she will be looking for a rebound. If you come on to strong or nice you will be pushed aside.

She will say your great she likes you then something like she's not ready or she doesn't think you should be a rebound. (If this comes up smile friendly and in a slightly sarcastic way say "I'm flattered you think you could be my girl friend" ) and ways like I was saying moving steady forward. If you have been breaking the touch barrier make sure you keep it up.

Watch her body language. Read up on it. But you do seem to know some about how girls work.

So watch. When you feel she wants to kiss.... Do not miss it, you will feel it, do it. That's the feeling you get when you feel like she does but your scared..... She does..... Like I said be careful with being to close and too there for her, and be careful when messing with a broken heart.

Distance and patience.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
